Letra del Tango Llevatelo todo

Vení, hermano, debo hablarte
que en mi pecho hay mucha bronca
y una pena que hace rato
que no puedo desahogar.
Vení, hermano, no te asombres,
yo te vi la noche aquella
que chamuyabas con ella,
muy bajito, no sé qué.

Porque yo la quiero mucho…
Vos sabés cómo la quiero…
Que no sé cómo resisto
a la horrible tentación
de ahogarla entre mis brazos,
de partirte a vos el pecho…
Pero no… Vos sos derecho,
tan derecho como yo…

Cumplí con tu deber,
que es triste, muy triste,
pelear entre hermanos
un mismo querer.
Llevátelo todo,
mis pilchas, mi vento,
pero a ella dejála
porque es mi mujer…

Si te deschavan tus ojos,
tu voz que está emocionada;
si comprendo claramente
que vos mucho la querés.
mas te ruego que seas hombre,
que luchés con entereza
y respetés con nobleza
la amistad que te brindé.

Yo que siempre te he confiado
todo cuanto había en mi vida,
los secretos más sagrados
que un hombre puede confiar.
Vos también me has confesado
todo tu triste pasado…
¡Si nunca te he traicionado,
no me debes traicionar!

English lyrics of the Tango "Llevatelo todo"

Come, brother, I need to talk to you
for there’s much anger in my chest
and a sorrow long held
that I can’t relieve.
Come, brother, don’t be surprised,
I saw you that night
whispering with her,
very softly, I don’t know what.

Because I love her so much…
You know how much I love her…
I don’t know how I resist
the terrible temptation
to suffocate her in my arms,
to break your chest…
But no… You are honest,
as honest as I am…

Fulfill your duty,
which is sad, very sad,
to fight among brothers
for the same love.
Take everything,
my clothes, my money,
but leave her
because she is my wife…

If your eyes give you away,
your voice that is moved;
if I clearly understand
that you love her deeply.
But I beg you to be a man,
to fight with integrity
and to respect with nobility
the friendship I offered you.

I, who have always confided in you
everything in my life,
the most sacred secrets
a man can share.
You also confessed to me
all your sad past…
If I have never betrayed you,
you should not betray me!
